Nebraska football beat writer - Lincoln Journal Star

[Bill Horton]

Football, hunting and lots of corn.

What more could a guy want?

It does sound like a great gig. Adding a beat writer in this day and time? Sweet.

That's something we should all be celebrating!

If you're looking for a job and not applying for this one, you probably don't have a pulse.

Good luck to the person who gets it.

Lincoln is a great place to live and work, and you'll be surrounded by some of the best people in the business.

I think the prevailing thought of people who seem down on this opening, and granted it's people who aren't from the area, - "It's Nebraska."

 

[ADifferentOkie]

I know someone who hears Nebraska's fight song -- "There is no place like Nebraska" -- and he always adds, "thank God."
However, I love that area and could see this being a really good job for someone.

Osborne's the AD? I thought the Huskers hired Bill Callahan to replace Sainted Tom.

No, he's not. And they hired Solich to replace Osborne. They hired Callahan to replace Solich.

Thanks Doc.

Perhaps the boots pipeline can shed some light on this one for us...

Boots says this one is a good job for someone two years out of college.

It would be ... except I'm not sure someone like that would get this position, given how many experienced writers will apply.

Guys:

This definitely is a good job. You'll learn from some good guys in Sipple, McKeever, Rosenthal, etc. John Mabry, who used to be the paper's sports editor, just was hired as the paper's ME. He is solid.

You've got a great competitive situation with the Omaha paper. I've always had good dealings with Bill Callahan and Steve Pederson. They understand the media and how important it is for their business.

And don't knock Lincoln unless you've been there. It's a good solid college town with all of the trappings that go with it. And the fans eat, sleep and breathe Cornhusker sports. I guarantee people will be reading your stuff - closely - whether it's football, baseball, basketball or volleyball.

Plus, all of the Runzas you can eat. Is this a great country, or what?

 

[spup1122]

Ugh. Runza's is the least of good things in Lincoln.

 

[TrooperBari]

Ugh. Runza's is the least of good things in Lincoln.

It helps if you were raised on Bohunk cuisine.

any news here?

I'd guess Todd is wondering where his desk went underneath the pyramid of resumes.

This thread has become too quiet for such a good gig. Does anyone know what's going on with this job?

In the process of determining finalists.

 

[Bucknutty]

In the process of determining finalists.

I don't envy you.

I don't envy you.

Why? I could think of several hundred reasons, but what's yours?
